Me and my friend were wondering where most of the jrockers are going to be meeting @ otakon. I'm going as seek (psycho le cemu) from the Gekkai Merry Go Round PV and he's going as Tatsurou (mucc) from the Zetsubou pv.

Well, on Friday, we're meeting around the j-rock panel which runs from 4-6 pm - I'm not quite sure where, but it should be fairly obvious ^_-* (If anyone wants nice pics on Friday, be sure to catch me before or during the j-rock panel because I have to leave by 6.)
Also, Jezeroth is hosting a lolita gathering Friday morning if anyone is interested....see here (http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16197). And twilighthush is having a little Silver Ash party right after the j-rock events....see here (http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17038).

On Saturday, the PLC-inspired soccer-theme photoshoot + picnic (http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11450) (for all j-rockers and lolitas, too) will be right after the official cosply.com photo gathering at 1 pm at the convention center fountains. I'm suggesting that everyone goes to that and then we'll just move off wherever directly from that location.
(As far as the picnic goes, we can either all raid a restaurant en masse, or you all can bring your own food...that hasn't quite been decided yet.)

Do you know how many PlC cosplayers are going and which groups they're going as?

Thanks for the gathering info, you'll see us there ^_^

Haha, I've been trying to figure that one out myself. From last calculation we had:
3 Prism (PV), 3 AnU, 4 Roman, 1-2 Rememberance (?) and...that might be it...also taking into account some of those are the same people with multiple cosplays for different days. ^_- I'm not sure if any Dopplegangers from last year will show up or not. (Well, except die-chan, who won't be there and has sworn off that Yura-sama anyway ^_^**) I think you're the only one that was planning Gekkai for Ota, tho.
...But people tend to just randomly show up, so we never know for sure. There will be a good handful of us, anyway, and it looks like there will be a nice variety of members and songs. All I can do is confirm my Prism Lida, but I don't want to speak for anyone else.

There is also a high chance of J-Rock cosplayers hanging around at what we dubbed the "J-Rock couches" last year since we kinda took them over. It's this little area with couch-type furniture that is right outside the Otaku Cafe and there are bunch of pay phones next to it. Check it periodically for any J-Rock people, espicially at night, lol. We're trying to see if we can get another gathering sometime on Friday night like we did last year. To see stuff from what we did last year, go to http://www.psychoticdoll.com/cosplay/otakon02/smut.html The owner of the site will be at Otakon taking as many pictures of J-Rock cosplayers as she can, like usual. ^^

Thanks for the information! I'm glad that i'm the only Gekkai PV seek going. Do you think anyone will know who my friend is going as (Tatsurou, vocalist from Mucc, from the Zetsubou pv)?

If you can go to BAAF this year, there's going to be a j-rock photoshoot. Here's the thread: http://www.bigappleanimefest.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=9&t=221
